Hope Spencer is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on building a strong connection first.
01About Hope
Hope Spencer is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on building a strong connection first. She uses straightforward conversations and listening to help people name their struggles and set practical goals. Her style is warm and approachable, with a light touch when appropriate.
She draws on 22 years of experience and the training behind her MS LPC credential. That background informs how she tailors sessions for stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and relationship or intimacy issues.
Background and approach
She also supports people managing major life changes and career-related stress. Hope combines several proven approaches rather than relying on a single method. She often uses client-centered work to follow what matters most to the person in the room.
She integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to spot patterns of thinking and test small changes in behavior. Mindfulness and solution-focused methods provide tools for calming the mind and finding what works now. Those strategies are useful for coping with family problems, adoption or foster care questions, attachment issues, and caregiver stress.
Hope adapts the mix to each person’s needs. Sessions are conversational and goal-directed. Expect clear steps and homework when it helps, and space to process emotions when that’s needed.
Hope emphasizes practical skills alongside honest listening, aiming to help people move forward at a steady pace.

04Online support
How her approaches work online
Hope commonly blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness so sessions focus on what matters to the person while offering practical tools. Client-centered therapy means the therapist follows the client's lead, asking questions and reflecting to help clarify concerns and values. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors, helping people try small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress unfolds so the work fits daily life and individual needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, or caregiving. Video is useful for a fuller conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is a quick way to check in, and messaging supports brief updates or homework between sessions. These options give flexibility and help people keep momentum in their work.
